Developing credit using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (issued to people in the US requiring a standard TIN who don't have and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security number) or ITIN is completed in just the same manner that one does with a TIN.
The first place to start is to be sure that your name (and ITIN) are associated with a utility bill (e.g., electricity, gas, telephone, etc.) because these companies will report on-time payments to credit reporting agencies.
The next step is to obtain a loan, preferably an installment loan (but store credit is fine), typically with a co-signer or guarantor (a letter of reference from an employer may do the trick if the individual is a high-earner) in order to develop a history with pure credit.
After 12 to 18 months, assuming that the individual has paid their bills and statements on time, one should be able to apply for traditional credit on their own.

Can someone apply for a credit card if they only have an ITIN?
Possible Answeryes and they will tell you if that is sufficient. Let me elaborate on this answer, if I may.You will need to consider establishing a secured credit card using your ITIN since the bank will not be able to "pull" a credit report for an ITIN user. Some banks, such as Bank of America, allows you to open an bank account - and even transfer funds to other countries using an ITIN. Therefore, as long as you have the proper Identification - such as your passport and a secondary picture ID from your country of origin - you should be able to get a bank account along with a secured credit card.You'll have to deposit some funds to start the secured credit card but after 12 months - your credit limit will increase above your savings portion. This will help you get along with the credit world.But the best way to develop credit is by paying your household bills on-time. As long as you have proof that you have paid at least 3 to 4 household bills on time for 12 months - you could even purchase a home in the USA.

If your husband establishes credit with an ITIN will the credit history transfer when he is able to get a social security number?
Credit histories are maintained by the 3 Main credit bureaus "Transunion, Equifax and experian, your husband will need to contact them in writing after him getting an SSN card from the social security Administration, he has to contact them saying that he received an SSN card and he's no longer going to be using the ITIN number for any credit history purposes and that way he can have his credit file transfered over to the social security number he was given. All addresses are on the company's web-sites and the same thing should also be done with the IRS so they know that he won't be liable for any taxes under his old ITIN number and that he's now using a Social Number instead. hope this helps
Which websites carry information on child tax credit?
Filers who have certain child dependents with an IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). If you are claiming a child tax credit or additional child tax credit for a child identified on your tax return with an ITIN instead of a social security number (SSN) or adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), you must complete Part I of Schedule 8812 (Form 1040A or 1040). Although a child may be your dependent, you may only claim a child tax credit or additional child tax credit for a dependent who is a citizen, national, or resident of the United States.
